Talk:The Firm (rock band)

British
Strange that there's not mention anywhere in the article that The Firm was a British rock band. If anything, it implies the band was American... Tanzeelat 16:16, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Live Soundboard Recordings
Someone with the means please research and add.

1. At least 2 unofficial audio soundboard concerts are available.

a) "Jimmy Page/Jimmy Pages Firm"       i 15 songs from both Firm albums and Page's/Rogers' solo careers?        ii No date ascribed; purports to be recorded in Los Angeles 1985        iii The Firm performed in Los Angeles on the 14th of March 1985    b) "Jimmy Page's Firm/Royal Darkness        i 14 songs from both Firm albums and Page's/Rogers' solo careers?        ii Back cover attributes the city and date as Montreal 1985.  The Firm                       never played in Montreal.  This show has been attributed to Cleveland,           Ohio May 11, 1986.

To me it would seem unlikely that songs from the Mean Business album were being performed before the demonstration tracks were even recorded.

What are the sources of these recording? Stolen? FM radio broadcasts? If so when was the original broadcasts dates and radio networks?

Article title
There's a move discussion going at Talk:The Firm (group) that may affect the title of this article. Propaniac (talk) 20:32, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

UK 1984 gigs
There were 3 UK gigs in 1984 - one at Middlesbrough on December 7th and two at Hammersmith Odeon December 7th and 8th.

"Films, DVDs" section--do these exist?
This section has remained completely untouched since this article's creation in 2005, but I can't find conclusive evidence that the two releases mentioned (The Firm Live at Hammersmith 1984 and Five from the Firm) were actually publicly available. Amazon doesn't list them as far as I know. There aren't any copies on eBay at this time. No cover art for Five for the Firm exists on Google Images, but there are several (bootleg) CD and DVD cover art images for the Hammersmith one. I can't confirm that either of these titles were released on VHS, let alone a DVD as the section title suggests. My guess is these might have just been obscure bootlegs. Because I'm not an expert on the subject, I'm leaving this section in tact for now, but I really question why this supergroup's supposed home video releases are so hard to find online.
